Ingredients

  • 1/2 medium cucumber peeled, sliced very thin
  • 1/2 medium white onion peeled, sliced very thin
  • 2 teaspoons whole peppercorns
  • 2 teaspoons mustard seeds
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions

  • Place sliced cucumber, onion, peppercorns, and mustard seeds in a glass jar.
    I use Weck Jars but a quick mason jar or glass bowl works too.
  • In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the vinegar, water, salt, and sugar to a boil.
  • Lower the heat to a simmer and stir until the salt and brown sugar dissolves completely.
  • Gently pour the hot liquid into the jar over the cucumber and onion mixture.
  • Make sure that all the cucumber and onion slices are submerged poking around if you need to.
  • CAREFULLY tap the jar or bowl to remove any trapped air bubbles.
  • Cool, cover, and store in the refrigerator until ready to add to your favorite food.
